Born into one of the wealthiest families in America—he was the youngest son of Standard Oil scion John D. Rockefeller Jr.
and the celebrated patron of modern art Abby Aldrich Rockefeller—David Rockefeller has carried his birthright into a distinguished life of his own. His dealings with world leaders from Zhou Enlai and Mikhail Gorbachev to Anwar Sadat and Ariel Sharon
his service to every American president since Eisenhower
his remarkable world travels and personal dedication to his home city of New York—here
the first time a Rockefeller has told his own story
is an account of a truly rich life.
